1:22.5

Has been circled on our calendar since the summer, right? You look at all these non-conference games. You say, oh my gosh, we get to see this good road test for this power conference team. We get to see an Alabama, Texas. We get to see Miami, Texas, A&M. We get to see Coach Prime against Matt rule.

1:41.5

And man, we two kind of delivered. Now, was it like the most amazing Saturday, ever? No, if we don't have a lot to be able to chop up right here on the instant reaction show. Thanks for everybody this watching with us live at youtube.com slash cover 3.

2:00.5

We're going to get to all that in so much more, but we're going to begin right there with the result that just finished a little bit ago.

2:09.5

Seven o'clock kickoff, about a four hour game. I'll tell you what, clock rules, clock rules didn't really slow down what was going on in Texas and Alabama, but a lot of that had to do with the touchdowns and the second half final score.

2:22.5

Texas 34, Alabama 24, the best win of the college football season so far. Yeah, yeah, maybe the best win we might have all season. Yeah.

2:36.5

Pretty possible. Yeah, I think so. Right. I mean, this is like, this is what Texas has in its pocket. We talk about how's Texas going to handle expectations. That was a big talking point going into the year.

2:47.5

First time that they'd been projected to win the big 12 since 2009. Now you've got to win against Alabama in week two in your pocket.

2:56.5

What are you going to do with it? Is a college football playoff contender with capital CFPC.

3:05.5

I was trying to figure out what the C was for a second. CFPC. What the contender? Yeah, capital CFPC.

3:14.5

What did we see from Texas? Where did this game break their way in your eyes? And then we can get into the big picture stuff. Let's start nitty-gritty.

3:25.5

I think they were physical enough. Yeah. Right. Like you knew, Bama was going to be really physical on both lines of scrimmage and was Bama more physical. You can probably argue that, but at the same time, they weren't so physical.

3:38.5

They were able to throw the knockout punch. You know, and to me, that was really the key. And then look, we talked about this. Sark would probably be able to scheme up a few big shot plays.

3:49.5

And you know what? This time when when you guys got his pitch, he didn't miss. You know, he had never thrown a touchdown that had gone more than 30 yards in the air. No. Yeah.

3:59.5

Yeah. How much? Right? Yeah. Couple tonight. Yeah. That's what I was saying. Just in this game in Bryant, Denny Stadium. I cannot even size this enough. Beautiful moonshots. Right. And obviously great catches on those two, but just.

4:12.5

Just dropped him in. Let, let, let, worthy, let 80 Mitchell run underneath them. That was, that was really impressive. I was, I mean, look, Quinn, yours, three hundred forty nine yards, three touchdowns, no picks.

4:25.5

Crazy. That happens when Quinn, you know, it doesn't get knocked out in the first quarter against Alabama, ain't it? Crazy. Crazy. I mean, I, you know what? You know, it's back. I don't think Texas is back, but I'm wondering is Quinn, yours the best quarterback in the country back?
